The biomechanical changes during sport-specific tasks and different commercially available footwear in individuals following meniscectomy (2020)
Thesis
Walters, V. The biomechanical changes during sport-specific tasks and different commercially available footwear in individuals following meniscectomy. (Thesis). University of Salford

Injuries to the meniscus are common particularly in sporting individuals. Traumatic meniscal tears typically occur due to a high impact twisting action on a planted foot, which can be seen in sports such as basketball, football and skiing. Competitiv...

Between-day repeatability of lower limb EMG measurement during running and walking (2020)
Journal Article
Elsais, W., Preece, S., Jones, R., & Herrington, L. (2020). Between-day repeatability of lower limb EMG measurement during running and walking. Journal of Electro - myography and Kinesiology, 55, 102473. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jelekin.2020.102473

There are minimal data describing the between-day repeatability of EMG measurements during running. Furthermore, there are no data characterising the repeatability of surface EMG measurement from the adductor muscles, during running or walking. The p...

Could relative movement between the adductor muscles and the skin invalidate surface electromyography measurement? (2020)
Journal Article
Elsais, W., Preece, S., Jones, R., & Herrington, L. (2020). Could relative movement between the adductor muscles and the skin invalidate surface electromyography measurement?. Journal of Applied Biomechanics, 36(5), 319-325. https://doi.org/10.1123/jab.2019-0299

The superficial hip adductor muscles are situated in close proximity to each other. Therefore, relative movement between the overlying skin and the muscle belly could lead to a shift in the position of surface electromyography (EMG) electrodes and co...

Change in pain and its relation to change in activity in osteoarthritis (2020)
Journal Article
Parkes, M., jones, R., Carter, S., Liu, A., Callaghan, M., & Felson, D. (2020). Change in pain and its relation to change in activity in osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis and Cartilage Open, 2(3), 100063. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ocarto.2020.100063

Objective

Trials testing promising interventions in knee osteoarthritis (OA) often fail to show pain reductions. This may be due to change in activity whereby a person’s pain decreases, leading them to increase their activity levels, in turn incr...
